CAMPAIGN HERE
100 YEARS OGO
Andrew Jackson Beat John
Quincy Adams 698 to 409
—Pittsboro Conventon
One hundred years ago, a Presi
dential campaign of great interest
wa s being conducted in the United
States. General Andrew Jackson,
the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent was being bombarded, denounc
ed, abused and reviled very much as
j is Governor Smith in this good year,
j That the citizenship of Chatham
, was interested in the event is shown
i from the following item, which ap
pears in the Star and North Caro
lina Gazette of May 15, 1828:
“On April 26th, 1828, an enthu
siastic meeting of the friends of
General Jackson was held at Pitts
! boro, in Chatham county. More
| than three hundred voters were pres
ent, and the meeting was organized
by the election of Ambrose K. Ram
-1 sey as chairman and John Bynum
ias secretary. •
j The following committee on reso
j lutions was appointed, viz:
Dr. John H. Hawkins,
Charles J. Williams,
Dr. Wm. H. Strong,
Thomas Thompson,
! Henry Moore.
Delegates chosen to represent the
! county in the convention called to
j choose a Jackson Elector were as
! follows:
Abraham Reneher,
Dr. John H. Hawkins,
Robert Marsh,
Henry M’oore,
Josephus Ramsey."
The efforts of the friends and
[ supporters of the hero of New Or
! leans were not in vain, for at the
election, Chatham cast 698 votes for
Jackson to 409 for John Quincy
Adams.
DEATH OF R. R. DUNN
R. R. “Duck” Dunn, son of the
1 late Mr. George W. and Mrs. Adlnie
Dunn, was born Dec. 7, 1867 and
I died at his home on Bear Creek, Rt.
2, Saturday morning Sept. 8, follow
ing an illness of less than a week.
Mr. Dunn became ill Sunday, Sept.
2, but he was not thought so seri
ous until Friday, when he became
violently ill and continued to weaken
until the end came at 1 a. m. Satur
day morning.
Mr. Dunn was married to Miss Etta
Andrew in 1888 and to this union
were boim 8 children, seven of whom
survive. The surviving children are
G. T. Dunn, of Bear Creek. W. L.
Dunn, of Durham; R. C. Dunn, of
South Carolina; Mesdames J. J. Ivey
of Bennett; H. L. Moody, Durham,
and Landon J. Rives, and Miss Glen
nie Dunn, of Rt. 2 Bear Creek. He
is survived by his widow and four
brothers, Ed Dunn, of Rockingham;
R. H. M. Dunn, of Rocky Mount,
Sam Dunn, of St. Louis; and Horace
G. Dunn, Rt. 2, thi s office. Two*
sisters, Mesdames Adcock, of Gas
tonia and Moore, of Emporia, Va.
In 1902 he was converted and he
joined the Sandy Branch Baptist
church, being baptised by the late
j Rev. Jesse L. Smith. He remained a
I member of this church until his
! death. It can be well said of Mr.
Dunn, “He lived in a house beside
jof the road and was a friend to
! man," for he was a most excellent
neighbor. He will be sadly missed
by his many friends.
The funeral was held from Sandy
Branch Baptist church Sunday after
noon amid a throng of people esti
j mated about a thousand. The pall
bearers were: S. 8., W. W. and G.
G. Burke, J. B. Emerson, L. T. Dark,
D. F. Ferrell, W. P. Ivey and T. B.
Beal. The funeral was conducted by
his pastor, Rev. E. W. Byerley, of
Bonlee, assisted by Revs. Anderson
Edwards, J. C. Kidd, of Bennett and
Grover C. Phillips, of Altamahaw.
The floral offering was large and
very beautiful. The interment was
made in the church cemetery. May
God’s comforting spirit hover closely
around those who are bereaved, and
may each one so live that when the
summons shall come they can say,
“it is well with mv soul.”

MULE GETS DRUNK ON
FERMENTED PEACHES
ALBEMARLE, Sept. 4.—C01. G.
D. Reynolds of this place is telling
his friends a story about his Sand
hill mule which brings that beast-up
to the standard reputation of the A1
Smith donkey. Col. Reynolds owns
a large peach farm in Richmond
county and for the past four weeks*
has practically made that section nis
home during’ which time he has been
gathering and saving his peach erdp.
The story he tells is that his gath
erers had dumped a 1 large-quantity
of bad fruit in a big basin, or hole
made by a washout. The fruit fer
mented, meantime quite a quantity
of water having fallen into it, mak
ing a regular still of beer out of the
entire mass. He had been allowing
the mule “Bob" to eat peaches and
the animal had shown a special fond
ness for, nice ,fruit. Colonel , Rey
nolds declares that .this mule got out
of the stable and.'went.. straight to
the fermented friiif and partook of
it freely. In fact old Bob imbibed
to the extent with the result that
he flung a glorious drutik. He be
haved so., unruly that Col. -Reynolds,
was forced to have him taken in
charge as a policeman might take
over an offending citizen under sim
ilar conditions.
PITTSBORO, N. C., CHATHAM COUNTY, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928
M. L. Shipman’s
| Raleigh Letter
By M. L. SHIPMAN
Raleigh, Sept. 10.—Politics con
tinued to hold the center of the
stage during the past week, the na
tional campaign between Smith and
Hoover overflowing all state affairs,
' Governor McLean, back at his desk
after a two months vacation, plung
ed into the campaign with several
conferences, speeches were made for
and against the Democratic candidate
and both parties worked on their
state organizations for a finish fight
this fall. Little official business of
interest was transacted by the state
departments.
The Democrats during the week
named R. S. Parker of Greensboro,
as state finance director and The
noted lawyer will be in charge
of raising funds for the conduct of
the Smith campaign and also that
of the full Gardner ticket. Mr.
Parker announced that he would wel
come all contributions. During the
week Senator Simmons, erstwhile
leader of the Democratic party in
the state, removed himself one step
further away from the party in
announcing that he would aid the
anti-Smith organization and also it
was stated that he is contributing
financially to an anti-Smith weekly
published at Greensboro.
Raleigh celebrated Labor Day by
unveiling a tablet to the memory of
Andrew Johnson, the president who
had his start as a tailor’s apprentice
in this city. Josephus Daniels made
the chief speech of the occasion.
During the work Chairman Mull of
the Democrats opened his headquar
ters and announced the personall of
his staff. Chief among these was that
of a publicity director, this pact go
ing to Mike Dunnagan, well known
newspaperman of the state who for
several months has been on Gover
nor McLean’s staff. Dunnagan
is the second member of the gover
nor’s official family who has been
cared for in advance of Mr. McLean’s
retirement, Charles H. England, pri
vate secretary having been appoint
ed chief game warden of the state
and having assumed this office on
September Ist.
Under the auspices of the anti-
Smith league and the anti-Smith
club, Dr. Roach Straton made a
speech in Raleigh in which he at
tacked Gov. Smith a s a frigiUk
vice, etc. The Democrats didn't" 1 '
like the speech and the Republicans
rejoiced. Governor McLean confer
red with Democratic national com
mitteeman Morrison. Nothing was
given out on the conference but
Morrison said to tell the people of
North Carolina not to sign any
pledge against Smith until they get
the facts for “the state in full of
defamation of the vilest sort." The
governor was referring to the whis
pering campaign against Smith. At
torney General Brummitt, Max Gard
ner, Rufe Doughton, Congressman
Rulwinkle, Clyde Hoey and others
opened the Democratic campaign in
vigorous denounciation of Republi
vigorous denounciation of Republi
cans and equally vigorous defense of
Smith. All had rousing audiences
and it i s believed locally that some
of the opposition to the Democratic
ticket is being overcome.
The heavy rains of the past week
have played havoc with the crops
and especially those along the Neuse
and Cape Fear rivers, which have
been way out of their banks. The
city and county schools opened for
the year and thousands of children
started the educational journey
which will last until next June. The
county commissioners announced, af
ter a heated discussion of the mat
ter, to let the county tax rate re
main the same. Citizens breathed
easier and were thankful for small
favors. Charles England, newly ap
pointed chief state game warden,
conferred with the wardens from
throughout the state.
PLANS STATE PARK FOR
PILOT MOUNTAIN AREA
Substantial progress is being made
oh the project to make Pilot Moun
tain a State Park, Claude Woltz,
Winston-Salem attorney, said. Mr.
Woltz, who da being consistently
mention as State Pardon Commis
sioner to succeed/Edwin Bridges, was
here over the week-end.
“We expect to/,ask the legislature!
for., assistance/’ Me. Woltz said, add- {
ing that tentative plans called for j
the - State to meet - private subscrip-j
tions' dollar f<>r dollar in the pro-1
ject.-Although the:cost has not been:

Mr. Woltz said that citizens in the
Pilot Mountain area were enthu
siastic. over converting the 22,000
tract iof natural baeuty into a park
for the benefit of the hundreds of
thousands of persons of the thickly
populated Piedmont area, and that
the project was receiving the active
support of the Winston-Salem papers
and Editor Stanford Martin person
ally. ‘ The Winston-Salem Monarch
club also i s behind the project, and
has named a comrhittee composed of
Mr. Woltz, W. R. Weir and C. B.
Taylor to conduct negotiations.

KUDZU AND LESPEDEZA
(Monroe Enquirer)
Four prominent Guilford county
dairymen and farmers yesterday
drove all the way from their homes
to see a field of Kudzu and learn
how it might be grown and cultivat
ed. First 1 carried these gentlemen
out to our family garden which is
covered with kudzu plants.
This was not enough for the visi
tors. They wanted to see a field of
it;. Since my acreage is some 15
miles from Monroe, I carried them
out to G. A. Marsh’s farm, two miles
south of town, where he has some
growing.
Arriving at Mr. Marsh’s x"ie!d, the
men were amazed at what they saw.
There was such a mass of vegeration
on the ground they had to walk
around the field rather than through
it.
Further, the visitors were great
ly interested in the Korean lespedeza
which is growing knee deep on Mr.
Marsh’s farm. They had heard of
Union county’s lespedeza but said
“the half had never been told!”
The visitors upon leaving said they
i had been well repaid in making the
1 100 mile trip and next spring would
j grow both kudzu and lespedeza on
| their farms.
| Its difficult for the average Union
(county farmer to realize the great
value of lespedeza. The present sea
son cotton and corn crops grown on
lespedeza lands are uniformly good.
, Many fields exceptionally fine de
spite a rather adverse growing sea
son. To illustrate, I shall relate
what has happened to a demonstra
tion cotton field two mile s west of
Monroe.
Early in the season a fertilizer
salesman agreed to use 30 pounds ni
trate of soda on a part of a field
of cotton belonging to A. M. Secrest
on the Jackson highway. Last week
the agent came, and of course de
sired to show farmers of the com
munity the advantage of his product.
But it wa s impossible to find in the
field where the soda began and
where it left off —cetton plants fine,
fruiting excellent —all over the field.
The reason of it all was that the
field of cotton the year before had
been sown to lespedeza.
About Preparations
' For Winter Crops
* Farmers will begin making prepa
rations for fall seeding of wheat,
I oats, vetch and clovers this month,
and it will be well to remember in
this connection that liberal applica
tions of complete fertilizers in the
5 fall will pay well. On our red soils,
’ : not less than 300 pounds of a com
: ! piete fertilizer analyzing 10 to 12
! per cent phosphoric acid, 4 per cent
1 ammonia and 4 per cent potash may
be used in the fall. Top dressings
' of nitrate of soda, sulphate of am
monia or calcium nitrate should be
used in the spring One of the
best fertilizers that can be used un
der grain - and clovers this fall is
basic slag. This material contains,
chiefly, phosphoric acid and lime,
two elements that are deficient in
our soils and that are essential for
crop production. Thi s material will
cost about sl4 per ton at Siler City
and Fittsboro, and for the informa
tion of those farmers who are inter
ested, a car load of this material
will be delivered at Siler City and
Pittsboro this month.
Basic slag contains 8-12 per cent
phosphoric acid, 45-50 per cent lime
and four to eight per cent magne
sium oxide in addition to other ele
ments. Due to the fact that the
phosphoric acid in this material is
more slowly available than in other
carriers of acid, and due also to
its relative cheapness, applications of
from 500 pounds to one ton this
fall for wheat, barley, oats, clovers
and vetch will pay well. Demonstra
tions that have been conducted with
this material in thi s state in con
nection with corn, wheat, oats and
clovers have given excellent results,
due to the fact that this material
is a carrier of both lime and phos
phoric acid.
Final preparations have been
made for Dairy Sale at Siler Citv,
Friday of this week. The sale will
begin at 2 p. m. Friday, Sept. 14,
at the Fair Grounds near Siler City.
Interesting talks on dairying will be
made before the sale, and lunch will
be served on the grounds. You are
cordially invited to attend.

TIMELY POULTRY POINTERS
The time o|f year has arrived
when the poultryman should consid
er the following points with refer
ence to his poultry activities:
It is time to transfer pullets from
the range houses to the laying hous
es so they will become familiar with
the conditions under which they are
to live. As a precaution against
false moult s and possibly complete
moults do not delay moving until the
pullets have broken into productoin
or ill results may follow.
Build a good house with comfort
of hen as first consideration. An
extremely cold or hot house is to
be guarded against. A low, dee-),
and properly ventilated house me-r j ;
the need. A tight house from drains
and cracks is cheaper than feeding
corn to keep birds w-arm. Windows
should be placed under the drooping
boards, also on the east side for
light and ventilation in summer,
Have a curtain to 'drop over open
front on south side of house to bo
used on cold, rainy, and rough days.
Build a house at least 20 feet
deep and as long as necessary to
house flock. Face the house to the
south on slope if possible, not on a
high knoll or in a bottom, but on
the side of a hill with woods or wind
break s on the north sdie.
8 in. roosting space for each hep
is required.
1 ft. mash hopper space for each
12 hens kept.
1 nest for each 5 hens kept.
Plans may be had for building
poultry houses upon application to
Poultry Extension Specialist, State
College Station, Raleigh.
Use old buildings such as barns,
sheds, and tobacco barns which need
only slight changes and possibly- a
little repair. If sketches of out
buildings are drawn in detail and
furnished the Poultry Dept, witn de
sired information, suggestions will
gladly be submitted. Where possible
and desired a personal visit will be
made by specialist.
BYNUM INSTRUCTS SCHOOL
TRUCK DRIVERS
Mr. H. A. Bynum, who was in
strumental in selling the Moncure
school four large trucks, was pres
ent at the Moncure school opening
and gave the drivers some import
ant instructions with regard to the
care of the truck. Those large
trucks carry as many as 70 pupils
each, and the responsibility upon the
driver is very great.
M'r. Bynum set the governor so
that a greater speed than 20 miles
cannot be made. Principal Self, too,
is putting the drivers and children
upon their guard. Drivers are to
report any misbehavior on the trucks
and any damage done by carelessness
of children or through sheer des
tructiveness is to be reported to the
principal or pay for the damage is
to be deducted from the driver’s pay
check.
The responsibility of the drivers
of the school trucks in the county is
so great that he should be given au
thority to enforce order every min
ute of the time, and that seems to
be the idea at Moncure.
First Stenog: The boss bawled me
out this morning about my lipstick.”

VOLUME 51. NUMBER 3
CHATHAM FAIR
HAS BIG PLANS
Three Fine Free Acts—A Mid
way—Baby Show—Compet
ent Managers in Charge of
Various Displays.
The Chatham county fair which
is to be held this year on October
-16, 17, 18 and 19 at the fair grounds
at Siler City, has every indication
of being one of the best fairs ever
held in the county.
Carl Gilliland, the manager, has
spent the greater part of his time
for the past several weeks getting
everything lined up and he has suc
ceeded in getting something that will
interest everybody, regardless of age
or sex.
For the Midway attraction he has
secured the Gold Nugget Shows.
This popular and well known com
pany has seven shows, four popular
rides and thirty concessions, also
band and caliophone music. Thi&
is one of the best attractions of its
kind ever to come to the county and
ought to prove of interest to all.
It has always been customary to
have a free act, but manager Gilli
land has gone beyond that and has
secured three free acts.. He has a
high driving horse, which is some
thing entirely new in this part of
the country. The Parentos, a lady
and gentleman will appear in this
and will perform twice daily, after
noon and night, each day for the
entire four days. They put on lad
der and table acts, contortion acts
and trapeze performances. He also,
has The Underhills. In this act two
or three ladies will appear and will
do areal and iron jaw performances,
twice daily.
The free attractions alone will be
worth far more than the price char
ged for admission, and after the
first crowd to come in at the gate
see these acts and then go out and
tell others about it the attendance
will be better each day.
Another new feature at the fair
this year will be a “Baby Show.” I
believe the manager chooses to call
it a “Better Baby Contest,” but it
all amounts to the same thing*
There are three prizes offered ini
this contest and will be paid in gold,
as follows: To the best developed
girl baby, $5; to the best developed
boy baby $5; and to the prettiest
baby in the entire show, either girl
or boy $5. Any baby under six mos.
nor ovsr eighteen mos. old are en
titled to be entered in this show,
and competent judges will be on
hand to do the judging. Mrs. J.
Speight Wrenn will have charge of
this department and will be glad to
give you any further information,
that you may desire about. The baby
show will be held on Wednesday the
17th and at that time there will
be a lady present to deliver an ad
dress to the parents present, about
the care of babies.
Tuesday, October the 16th has
been designated as educational day
and on this day all school children
will be admitted free. Wednesday
is home coming day and it is expect
ed that many former Chathamites
will be present on this day to meet
old friends again and to get ac
quainted with new ones. Thursday
is manufacturing day, and by the
way all maufacturers in Chatham
county will be given free space to
exhibits whatever they make and
offer for sale. This is something
else that has never been done be
fore and it offer* to the people of
the county a chance to find out
something about just what is gfiing
on in the county. There are lots
of people living in the county that
have absolutely no idea how many
different kinds of things are made
in their own county, so be sure to
look these exhibits over. Friday is
everybody’s day, and it is hoped that
everybody in the county and many
others will be there on that day and
get the full benefit of what they
find there to see.
Mr. Gilliland has spent much time
and has exercised much judgment ia
selection of the heads of the various
departments, and we believe that he
has finally worked out a group of
people that will handle the fair in
a thoroughly business-like manner.
N. C. Shiver, Farm Agent for
Chatham county, has been chosen aa
Supt. of farm products and grounds.
Farm and field crops, Hugh York
director; N. J. Dark, assistant. Hor
